I think many people on this forum understand and embody this dilemma! I don't have a large collection but I just reached a point where I feel like I'm losing track of the bags I have, which is a sign for me to start selling and appreciate that bags that I use a lot.

I have a feeling about your Row bag as well. It is just such a classic and so beautifully designed. Can't wait to see the pictures and how you find the organization .
Well I was right, the Duplex is proving to be a very tough bag to change out of. Great organization, I can find everything quickly, comfy to carry even though for my body size she's a little big, looks great and feels like quality. Plus I'm totally at ease just slinging her around, not babying her at all. I'll take a serious look at another Row bag in the future :heart:.

I’m so torn on which Balenciaga bag I want! I don’t live near any stores so I’m lost! I don’t want a mini or small bag. I’m a large bag girl but a large bag for everyday use, not huge. The papier A5 side zip tote is cute and so is the Velo? I would rather it be too big then to small. I’d love a strap. Will someone help me with the different sizes and styles?

Do you have a bag you like that you can measure? Do you prefer north/south bags or east/west? How do you carry your bag, shoulder, cross body, hand? Do you like structure or slouch?

I love my speedy 35 but wouldn’t mind a bag that opens larger and is easier to get in and out of. I like the east/west best but I’m open to anything! I prefer carried my handle with a cross body strap option if possible. I don’t want just a crossbody! I don’t need one for a laptop but love tons of room if I need to throw in a scarf or something! I love the shape of the weekender but am thinking it’s too big. I had this black Rebecca Minkoff and loved it. Wouldn’t mind a bag a tad bigger. I also had this silver Balenciaga Papier A4 side zip tote but it was too open for me. The top had zero security. It had no closure and I hated that.

Hmmm, if you like the weekender you'd like the Work, looks the same but smaller. No strap though. I love the Velo, I'm a big bag gal and it holds plenty for me, plus has a strap that's long enough for crossbody. But smaller than the A4. (roughly 13.4" x 9.8" x 6.7' compared to the A4 at 16" x 11.7" x 6.6"). Here's a pic.

I also love the Bazar series. More of a square really, the small is big for a small, has a strap. The medium has a ton of space but no shoulder strap but the handles are long enough for a shoulder carry. Here's a medium. (14.4" x 14.4" x 7.8").

For east/west there's the part time. It has a strap (shoulder, not crossbody) and is similar in over-all size to the A4 just more east/west (16.5" x 10" x 6.25'). Here's a part time with giant gold HW.

You could also look at the bridge, men's line. No crossbody but a wide comfy shoulder strap and it looks great on. Keep in mind the bag's stuffed here, it actually will drape. (17" x 13" x 7.5" so not that different from the A4, look past the stuffing). I really like the Bridge but I'm really small and the strap is too wide for me, sadly.

The part time and the velo are discontinued so it'll be after-market stuff. In fact pretty much all of these will be.
